People are often surprised by how long preparation takes compared to the actual painting. As a Lincoln painter, I can tell you that prep is where good decorating lives or dies.
In most Lincoln painting and decorating projects, preparation includes:
- Filling cracks and holes
- Sanding uneven areas
- Cleaning grease and dust
- Sealing problem surfaces
The painting itself is usually the quickest part.
Skipping or rushing preparation might save time upfront, but it nearly always causes problems later — peeling paint, uneven finishes, and marks showing through.
This is why professional Lincoln decorators often spend more time preparing than painting. Paint is only as good as the surface it’s applied to.
If you want a finish that lasts years rather than months, preparation isn’t optional — it’s essential.
